Also called the “Nibbies,” the British Book Awards “honours and celebrates the commercial successes of publishers, authors and bookshops” with nominees in a variety of categories, including AudioBook of the Year, Editor of the Year, and Independent Bookshop of the Year. Winners will be honored at a black-tie event at Grosvenor House in London, originally planned for May 18, 2020, now scheduled for June 29, 2020. For the complete shortlist, see the official website.

While you are here, please take a moment to support Locus with a one-time or recurring donation. We rely on reader donations to keep the magazine and site going, and would like to keep the site paywall free, but WE NEED YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT to continue quality coverage of the science fiction and fantasy field.

What they say

“Locus is the spit and baling wire that holds the entire, bizarre and wondrous enterprise of genre publishing together. It’s kind of hard to figure out how it works, and it’s a miracle that it’s still working, and we’re all seriously fucked if it ever stops working.”

PLEASE SUPPORT LOCUS WITH A DONATION TODAY!

Everyone in the publishing industry has taken a hit during the coronavirus crisis, and that includes Locus. We are a non-profit, and rely on donations and subscribers to stay alive. Now losing our remaining retailers and distributors to the lockdowns, Locus needs your support to keep publishing the high quality reviews, book and community news, and articles you read here. Our online readers (there are a lot of you!) could support everything Locus does, if each reader donated $5 once a year. But only 1% of our audience pitches in. Please consider making your donation today!
